Must not criticise Obama (again)

But calling Bush a Nazi was just fine, of course
Getting the boot from Fort Knox is the latest wrinkle in a controversy that began last weekend at an NRA convention and led to a visit from the Secret Service.

Citing inflammatory language while expressing his displeasure with President Barack Obama, the military has uninvited rock star and conservative political activist Ted Nugent from performing at Fort Knox in Kentucky, according to the U.S. Army post's Facebook page.

"After learning of opening act Ted Nugent's recent public comments about the president of the United States, Fort Knox leadership decided to cancel his performance on the installation," it's Facebook posting says.

Use of the violent metaphors earned Nugent a visit from Secret Service agents on Thursday. He said Friday on his website that he had with them a "good, solid professional meeting concluding that I have never made any threats of violence toward anyone."

A spokesman for Fort Knox told TheBlaze.com that having Nugent perform "would be a conflict of interest since the military has the obligation to be apolitical."

Such a claim, though, seems dubious when it comes to choosing entertainers, who oftentimes show their partisanship. At its website, for example, Fort Knox is touting an appearance this month by comedian Jay Phillips who is supportive of Obama through his Twitter activities. And Ludacris has performed at U.S. Army bases even after the 2008 release of his pro-Obama song "Politics As Usual," which calls Hillary Clinton, who was running against Obama at the time, a "bitch" who is "irrelevant." The ultra-partisan song also called President George W. Bush "mentally handicapped" and says that Sen. John McCain "don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed."

You can bet the decision to boot Mr. Nugent came from the top brass of the military, most of whom having been totally "PC-ized" by this Marxist administration.

Isn't it ironic how those who are tasked with fighting for and protecting our freedoms, such as speech, are so quick to deny it to someone who they disagree with. It's also ironic that it was political speech the Founders had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment.

The only thing these fools have done is make Mr. Nugent even stronger and more popular, something his millions of fans greatly appreciate.

QUOTABLE QUOTES
"Political Correctness is about turning a blind eye to painful reality because your comfortable feelings are more important to you than saving lives and providing quality of life to people who work their ass off to be productive and are a benefit to this great American Dream..."

Forget this administration, the military has been run by political twats for over 50 years.

Has anyone seen the latest commercials for the Navy and Marines - they make me want to vomit.

If you criticise a company's CEO you aren't likely to get an invite to their Christmas party...
